Models are starving themselves
The images are far from the glitz and glamor of the modeling world - it looks more like scenes from the holocaust only more classy. The photos are shocking. But I know this is not new.
A post from F-word.org talks about a New York legislation called Res. 0692-2007, which urges sponsors of the New York Fashion Week to adopt a healthy models education campaign and ban models with a BMI of less than 18.5 from strutting the runway. This is highlighted because of a death of a model due to an eating disorder. She is just one of many models who have died. Here's the news article.So sad to see these beautiful women wither away like that. Visit this site and learn more about the subject or go to Eating Disorder and be educated.
Thank you, Digital Chain, for recognizing the severity of the model/weight issue within the fashion industry. Unless we continue to be vocal about the issue and offer solutions, this problem won't go away. How many more models do we need to serve as victims to this illness before we truly recognize that thin ISN'T beautiful.
